- Johari attended a workshop organized by UNESCO about experience in China and Malaysia on analysis and visualization. He talked to several researchers from China. He will send a paper to a journal to see if there is interest.
- Johari is teaching this semester, he will enter the Raspberry Pi image into Dropbox or Github in the next few days. Bebo will follow up with Github information.
- He is looking at updating the PingER Malaysia web site.
- He has been unable to contact Hafiz to get MyREN monitor at UNIMAS working again.
- Writing a paper. Les will review and then Johari will submit. No progress 3/14/2017. Looking for a good journal 5/18/2017.

The paper title: " Internet Performance Analysis of South Asian Countries using End-to-end Internet Performance Measurements" is submitted in IEEE IUCC 2017 (http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/IUCC2017/). Saqib can still update the submission. Therefore, he needs feedback Camera ready paper is submitted.
The paper title: " Missing Values Imputation in PingER Internet Detecting Anomalies from End-to-end End Internet Performance Measurements using k-nearest neighbors (PingER) using Cluster Based Local Outlier Factor" is submitted in IEEE ISPA 2017 (http://trust.gzhu.edu.cn/conference/ISPA2017/). Camera ready paper is submitted.
The paper title: " Missing Values Imputation in PingER Internet End-to-end Performance Measurements using k-nearest neighbors (k NN)" was not accepted in IMC 2017. He is updating the paper k NN)" was not accepted in IMC 2017. He is updating the paper according to the reviewer’s comments. Hopefully, Saqib will submit it at some other venue. Any update? Not yet decided about the submission venue. Need some suggestions.
PingER PingER MA at GZHU is now accessible publicly and is successfully gathering data and incorporated in PingER. It would make a good beacon, however it was not pingable 7/16/2017, sent email. Saqib is trying to convince the IT department to open the ping. No success yet. Hopefully in next 2 weeks. (9/26/2016). Still Still not pingable 10/24/2017. No success. However, requested to move PingER to dual stack subnet to ping Ipv6 address space.
We now have about 230 educational sites in China that respond to pings. about 200 have been entered into the PingER Meta database. About 10% are not responding. We still need to add Saqib has entered about 48 municipalty sites, so all sites

Currently, no data is available on PingER on Android due to unavailability of the live IP address. No update 4/19/2017, 7/6/2017. Email sent to Sara Masood. No update 9/24/2017. Any update 10/24/2017.
The 44th Asia-Pacific Advanced Network (APAN) Meeting was held in Dalian, China in collaboration with CERNET from August 26 to September 1, 2017. Saqib attended this meeting. He gave a presentation. He has a lot of interest from CERNET on using PingER for monitoring CERNET. CERNET backbone is currently at 10Gbps will upgrade to 100Gbps in a couple of years. There are about 20 core nodes that run IPv6 and they will be extending to 50 core nodes.
Saqib is thinking of submitting a proposal to extend PingER to support IPv6 monitoring of the CERNET backbone. The submission deadline is 30 Sept 2017. Did this happen?
PingER has valuable historical data for the last 20 years.Many analysis and case studies have been carried using this data. A lot of information is available on the website. Saqib's idea is to publish the brief summary all these analysis through a survey paper covering the history and utilization of PingER data starting from 1998 to 2017. Saqib started on it, Les is providing assistance.

PingER Project of 150K RMB is accepted by Guangzhou Postdoctoral Special Funds of China. Hopefully, in the coming month, I will get two 1U servers to install data repository in GU.

Need your feedback on the idea of Measuring the Digital Development of the Countries using PingER data. · Is there something you want me to review some, e.g. some draft document on Measuring the Digital Development of the Countries using PingER data , or are you asking if it is a good idea to review and create such a document. If the latter I think this is a fascinating subject. Part of the challenge is the chicken and egg problems: i.e. is it network performance influencing advancement of the country, or is it the reverse that advanced countries can afford good networks. My belief is it goes both ways. Also one needs to extend the analysis beyond just Africa else it’s kind of a repeat of Pinging Africa , R. Les Cottrell, IEEE Spectrum February 2013. Also see A Simple Tool for Measuring Digital Development , by R. Les Cottrell, IEEE Spectrum February 2013. This is derived from SLAC-PUB-15333.
· Also it may be related to Adib’s paper on Internet Performance and its Reflection on Socioeconomic Development in the ASEAN Countries that was submitted to IEEE and rejected..

A next step is to get the data from the phone MA to the archive at SLAC. The current method ping_data.pl requires a public IP address for the phone which may not exist if its is mobile. Getting the MA to put the data to the archive may raise some security issue for the archiver.
